Sizing photos to fit homescreen

Am having difficulties getting photos to fit home screen. After I select photo, 'move and scale' appears but this doesn't see to do anything. Do photos have to be a certain size


Thanks

iPad, iOS 7.0.4

From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5595 :


When the parallax effect is on, you may notice the following:

  • Wallpaper, icons, and alerts shift slightly as you move your phone.
  • When you set a wallpaper in Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness, the photo or image will be slightly zoomed and can't be scaled to fit the screen.


If you zoom in, you will need to rescale your wallpaper to fit to the screen. You can't rescale certain photo formats, including landscape or square images.
